About sculpture classes

Clay, metal, stone, wood, and wire are just some of the materials used by students and instructors in the sculpture department at The Art League School in Alexandria, VA. Whether you’re interested in working realistically in clay, or creating something modern and large in stone or metal, we have an instructor and class to match your vision. Sculpture classes are available for beginners and experienced artists, and are offered year-round, during the week, weekend, day and evening.
